  • Patent number: 11318430
    Abstract: A cannabis preparation mixer includes a processor, electrically coupled with each of a weighing system, a heating system, a mixing system, and a user interface within a main housing. The processor receives input from the weighing system and the user interface and transmits instructions to the heating system and the mixing system to heat and mix a mixture according to a predetermined pattern selected based upon a weight of herbs sensed at the weighing system. A heating system includes a heat plate that sits on top of a heating element which sits on top of the insulation pad. A mixing system includes a magnetic motor with a magnetic stirrer and wireless temperature probe that rotates above the magnetic motor, the magnetic stirrer having a wireless temperature probe therein. The user interface receives input from a user to identify user preferences and settings.
